Biography
Danny Ray Johnson was born in Bastrop, Louisiana on 18 October 1960, and he had an incomplete education at a seminary before becoming involved with international missions for the Living Waters Church in Pasadena, California. He travelled to Colombia and Venezuela, where he claimed that he had rose a woman from the dead. Johnson later became a bishop at the Heart of Fire Church in Louisville, Kentucky, and his church became known as a motorcycle bar with heavy drinking parties. Johnson went so far as to molest a seventeen-year-old girl at one of these events.

In 2016, Johnson was elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives as a Republican Party member, despire the Republican Party of Kentucky calling on him to drop out of the race for saying that Allah, Muhammad, and Islam sucked, and that he would give Muslims his address so that he could kill them in his front yard. He co-sponsored a bill signed into law by Governor Matt Bevin that allowed for public schools to teach classes on Biblical literacy, and he also supported a bill that would block pornography on all devices capable of accessing the internet.

On 11 December 2017, KCIR reported on Johnson's molestation of a teenage girl at his church, and the case - which had been closed by the police in 2013 - was reopened as a result of the report. The state Republican Party again called for him to resign, but he claimed that the allegations were untrue and politically motivated. On 13 December 2017, he shot himself in the head, and his body was found on a bank of the Salt River in Mount Washington, Kentucky. His wife claimed that his death was a "high-tech lynching" and announced her intention to seek his seat in the State House.
